<div>thanks for your reply but i did not meant that. ${CALLERID(DNID)} will return then number which i don't want. what i want is channel-id like if we have a user named "nasir", then we dial it as follows</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Dial(SIP/nasir)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>but actual channel-id that asterisk uses is something like " nasir-2b487e9". and on the asterisk cli we can check this when call is answered or hangup, asterisk attaches some random id with username.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>i am dialing sip uri using "Dial(SIP/<a href="http://119.26.18.235:5062">119.26.18.235:5062</a>)" which causes changed INVITE adn TO headers, so i want to get the channel-id that asterisk internally uses do dial it.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>if we use ChanIsAvail(SIP/nasir) or ChanIsAvail(SIP/<a href="http://192.168.0.10:5062">192.168.0.10:5062</a>) this works on Local LAN and it returns "SIP/192.168.0.10:5062-3fe934f4" , but when asterisk is on Live Ip and users are behind Router then this function gives error of unknow host. so i want to know if there is any other function that does this job.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>so what is want is to get this channel-id ( like nasir-2487e9) and dial it like</div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<div>Dial(SIP/nasir-2487e9) or Dial(SIP/119.26.18.235:5062-34e984b)" </div>
<div> </div>
<div>hope this clears what i wanna do.</div>

ChanIsAvail(username). this works correctly when user and asterisk are on<br>Local LAN. But my asterisk server is on public ip and users are behind nat,<br>and so this method says unknow host when used on public asterisk server.<br>
I also tried built-in variable ${CHANNEL}, but this returns the channel-id<br>of the calling channel. but i want channel-id of called user.<br><br><br>--------------------------------------<br>perhaps ${CALLERID(DNID)}<br>
